If I start LyX from the terminal, everything works fine.
But if I just start LyX by double clicking on a .lyx file, then I have
problems (pasted at the end of email). I have tried reconfigure.
Do I have a problem with permissions or something? I don't see why the two
would be different.
I have tried reconfigure and reinstalling and neither has helped.
Here is the error in LyX:
File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.MT6574/lyx_tmpbuf2/testfile.pdf
In the terminal, here is the output:
Systemcall.cpp(238): Systemcall: 'pdflatex "testfile.tex"' did not start!
Systemcall.cpp(239): error The process failed to start. Either the invoked
program is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the
program.
Error: Cannot view file
